Prosecutor indictment

Quote :

Your Honour,
Since the defendant confessed his crime, not much is left to me to argue about. I propose his conviction for (attempted) violent robbery. Given that it is his first offence and that the defendant is a Vagrant I suggest a fine of 30 pounds and a trust point to be given to the victim.

Last defence pleading

Quote :

*Fleshgrinder was found torn to pieces in a hollow tree, rotting for several days and excessively starting to decompose. In a great overcoming of utmost disgust und execration, the nearby town residents bury the maggot-eaten and dismembered cadaver sickeningly in some foul marsh pond. They try to plunge the lich with some effort, but due to the digester gas, the abhorrent body comes back to the surface. So they pull it out of the tarn and throw it far into the middle of this pond. To their greatest horror, the corpse flies in pieces for some reason with a nauseating snap and sinks in the mouldy pond, leaving some appalled and terrified citizend behind.*
